When Tiger Woods hoisted the WGC Cadillac trophy, no doubt he was enjoying the moment.

"It feels good, especially to play that well this entire week, on a difficult setup," he said. "The greens got really quick out there today. And if you left the ball in the correct spot though, you could be pretty aggressive and you could shoot a good number."
